3 p g Including Personal Protective Equipment Include a brief description of research, recommendation and location of personal protective equipment, location of spill equipment, and location of material safety data sheets (MSDS). Consult with Appendices. A & B. Environmental Health & Safety staff in Risk Management has developed generic procedures relevant to safety and health considerations when laboratory work involves the use of hazardous chemicals. Where the scope of hazards are not adequately addressed by this general document, the Laboratory Supervisor or Departmental Chemical Hygiene Officer must develop written standard operating procedures for work area specific operations. This document must be provided to all affected laboratory employees. This document specifies minimum regulations and recommendations.

5 D. Elimination or Substitution The first step in evaluating a new experiment, process or operation should be to investigate the possibility of eliminating the use of hazardous materials or substituting a less hazardous material. For example, instead of using an organic solvent or chromic acid based material for washing glassware, one should substitute an aqueous based detergent. Aromatic compounds (i.e., benzene) and chlorinated hydrocarbons (i.e., methylene chloride) in some experiments should be replaced with aliphatic compounds or non-chlorinated hydrocarbons, if possible. The particular process, experiment or operation may also be modified to reduce the quantity of the hazardous material(s) necessary or limit the potential emission release rate or exposure time. For example, the use of microscale techniques may be applicable in measuring boiling points of a material. Another example is the substitution of closed systems for open vessels. The use of a secondary containment device such as a pan can be helpful in preventing or minimizing the effects of chemical spills. Please list any measures that you have taken in regards to elimination or substitution.

6 Designated Areas, g Reducing the potential for exposure to particularly hazardous chemicals is achieved by restricting the use of the material to a designated area equipped with the proper control devices. This designated area can be a glove box, fume hood, bench, or an entire laboratory depending on the manipulations required. Particularly hazardous substances are stored, used, and prepared for disposal only in designated areas. The boundaries of a designated area are defined by the researcher in the special provisions written for the specific particularly hazardous substance. The designated area is identified by signs so those entering the area are aware a particularly hazardous material may be present. For example: "ACRYLAMIDE BALANCE" over balance area DANGER! HIGHLY REACTIVE MATERIAL in storage area "AFLATOXIN IN USE" on glove box Radiation and Biohazard signs are available from the Radiation and Biological Safety staff in Risk Management at x In addition to establishing the physical boundaries which define the designated area, the procedures used in a designated area should be described under special provisions by the laboratory supervisor, (see below). These include storage, use of protective equipment, use of containment, equipment disposal and decontamination procedures. Special Provisions for Particularly Hazardous Substances. Including reproductive hazards, carcinogens, acutely toxic, blood and body fluids, radioactive isotopes and any other special hazards. Please include the regulated areas for this laboratory. Consult with Appendices. A & B. NOTE: To be done by the Laboratory Supervisor or Departmental Chemical Hygiene Officer for each plan Please include any designated areas for this laboratory.

7

8 p Including proper chemical storage, proper use, disposal, and other procedures to control hazards. NOTE: To be done by the Laboratory Supervisor for each plan. Please add any items specific to your lab. The decision to use a hazardous chemical should be a commitment to handle and use the chemical properly from initial receipt to proper disposal. EXAMPLE: Chemical Handling and Storage Information on proper handling, storage and disposal of chemicals and access to related Material Safety Data Sheets should be made available to all laboratory employees prior to the use of the chemical. Always purchase the minimum amount necessary to maintain operations. Chemical containers with missing or defaced labels or that violates appropriate packaging regulations should not be accepted. Chemicals utilized in the laboratory must be appropriate for the laboratory s ventilation system. Chemicals should not be stored on high shelves and large bottles should be stored no more that two feet from floor level. No chemicals should be stored on the floor. Chemicals shall be segregated by compatibility. Chemical storage areas must be labeled as to their contents. Storage of chemicals at the lab bench or other work areas shall be kept to a minimum. Any chemical mixture shall be assumed to be as toxic as its most toxic component. Substances of unknown toxicity shall be assumed to be toxic. Transferring Chemicals Carry glass containers in specially designed bottle carriers or a leak resistant, unbreakable secondary container. When transporting chemicals on a cart, use a cart that is suitable for the load and one that has high edges to contain leaks or spills. When possible, transport chemicals in freight elevators to avoid the possibility of exposing people on passenger elevators. Compressed Gasses Special systems are needed for handling materials under pressure. Cylinders pose mechanical, physical and/or health hazards, depending on the compressed gas in the cylinder. Cylinders must be secured in an upright position at all times. Use suitable racks, straps, chains, or stands to support cylinders against an immovable object, such as a bench or a wall, during use and storage. Do not allow cylinders to fall or lean against one another. Use an appropriate cart to move cylinders.

9 Oil or grease on the high pressure side of an oxygen cylinder can cause an explosion. Do not lubricate an oxygen regulator or use a fuel gas regulator on an oxygen cylinder. Use an oxygen-approved regulator. Always wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields when handling compressed gases. Always use appropriate gauges, fittings and materials compatible with the particular gas being handled. When work with a toxic, corrosive or reactive gas is planned, EH&S staff in Risk Management X should be contacted for information concerning specific handling requirements. Generally, these gases will need to be used and stored with local exhaust ventilation such as a lab hood or a gas cabinet designed for that purpose. Cryogenic Liquefied Gases (liquid argon, nitrogen and oxygen) are transported and stored in special, insulated containers designed to keep them from warming up. Coming in contact with them can rapidly freeze and destroy skin tissues. Appropriate gloves should always worn when transferring these materials.

10

11 G. Personal Hygiene and Sanitation NOTE: To be done by the Laboratory Supervisor for each plan. Please add any items specific to your lab. EXAMPLE: Avoid eating, drinking, smoking, gum chewing, or application of cosmetics in areas where laboratory chemicals are present. Avoid storage, handling or consumption of food or beverages in all laboratories. Do not wear lab coats in an area where food is consumed. Be aware that open packages of tobacco products can absorb chemical vapors. Wash areas of exposed skin well before leaving the laboratory. Avoid direct contact with any hazardous chemical. Confine long hair and loose clothing and wear footwear that fully covers the feet. Never mouth pipette.
